Review from August 2011. Stayed at Villa Stupenda in Bellano and could not be happier about not staying in Varenna or Bellagio or anywhere else. There isn't much nearby - but you're close to everything via boat, train, or car. We loved walking into town to enjoy the beach area with a pool and cafe - all locals or Italian... More

We spent three nights in the villa and really enjoyed it. The former two weeks we travelled Italy and had some disappointing experiences with hotels. So we were very happy with the Villa. We got a good discount as the suite was the last available room. The interior is open, friendly and elegant. The room was like the rest of... More

This was our 8th visit to the Villa Stupenda and we still love it. Our children are now 21/2 and 7 month and so the type of vacation for us changed, but wie still feel a little at home here. Everthing is very clean and the service is perfect as always. The staff showed us some new restaurants and other... More

Very beautiful hotel, in a good position and with beautiful views across the lake.

Ferries are easy enough to get access to all the main areas. The hotel itself is round the corner from the train station and... More

The Hotel staff was extremely friendly and helpful! They helped make my journey more pleasant. Bellano is a nice, quiet town. Local restaurants... More

Hotel Villa Stupenda was the wildcard in our trip. I tripped upon it on the web, and there was no review on Tripadvisor at the time. It was well-priced and the corner suite was available, so I booked it. Other than a little difficulty walking from the train to the hotel due to hauling luggage up steep terrain, I have... More

This is a beautiful hotel in a peaceful location. The rooms are elegant with high quality bedding, super large fluffy towels, wood paneling, A/C, and gorgeous views of the lake. The common spaces are classy and comfortable, with multiple different areas overlooking the water (from the main terrace with tables/chairs to smaller, private areas higher up on the hill with... More
